   Summary

   Grace had "made peace" with the fact that he was going to live out the rest of his days on Erid inside a biodome, never seeing or interacting with another human person again. It was a small price to pay for saving the life of his best friend and an entire planet of intelligent life.

   Simon had "made peace" with the fact that he was going to die at the bottom of the blood ocean, alone in the dark with no hope of escape. Because not everyone gets to be saved.

   Neither of them expected fate to intervene on their behalf.

   After being rescued by an Eridian survey team, Simon is trying to find his footing in a place that challenges everything he knows. Meanwhile, Grace wants to solve the mysteries surrounding this handsome stranger sharing his living space. But both of them might find a lot more than they were expecting with one another.

   In the end, "making peace" is just something you say.
